Even when she was discharged from the hospital, she heard the nurses gathered together and talking about it.
The marriage between the President and the daughter of the An family is simply a match made in heaven.
In a daze, she remembered that day when she asked Zhan Xiuchen if he liked her even a little bit.
Zhan Xiuchen answered yes.
So why would Zhan Xiuchen, who liked her, turn around and marry another woman?
I couldn't figure it out at the time.
I just can't figure it out.
If you can't figure something out, you'll stop thinking about it when you stop.
She is not someone who likes to get stuck on trivial matters.
But for some reason this time, even though she couldn't figure it out, Shi Nian couldn't help but think about it, and even asked A Feng about it in the end.
Ah Feng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Looking at Shi Nian's pained and confused expression, he had an impulse for a moment to tell her the whole truth.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Ah Feng simply said, "Miss Shi, the President initially approached you with the intention of using you, but perhaps he no longer wants to use you now."
What a flimsy reason!
Even Ah Feng himself knew it was far-fetched.
But besides saying that, Ah Feng didn't know how else to comfort Shi Nian.
Upon hearing this reason, Shi Nian fell silent.
Ah Feng didn't know whether Shi Nian believed it or not.
He wanted to say a few more words, but then thought better of it and said, "Miss Shi, the President asked me to tell you that he feels guilty towards you, so he will promise you something."
"You have always longed for true equality in Country A, where there are no more class distinctions, the poor are no longer oppressed, and they can live and work in peace and contentment. The President has asked me to tell you that he will achieve this in his lifetime."
Shi Nian's gaze was distant, and she did not reply.
.........
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Shi Nian stayed with her grandparents in the slums.
Before she returned, Grandpa Shi was sent to the hospital for a check-up by Ah Feng.
Grandpa Shi is fine, but he's a little mentally impaired due to his age.
If you take medication regularly, it can be controlled.
The days after her return were peaceful and uneventful, and Shi Nian never went to the wealthy area again.
She felt as if she had just had a dream.
Everything in the wealthy district, and everything Zhan Xiuchen experienced, was just a dream.
Now that she's woken up from the dream, she's returned to a normal life.
One night, there was a sudden, loud knocking on the door.
Shi Nian went to open the door.
The man standing at the door made her eyes flash with disbelief.
It is a war of repair and sinking.
The man seemed to have arrived in a great hurry, and there was still a slight chill in the air from his turned-up collar.
As soon as he opened the door, he hugged Shi Nian tightly.
Shi Nian froze completely.
After a long while, she suddenly pushed Zhan Xiuchen away.
If she remembered correctly, Zhan Xiuchen was getting married soon.
“Mr. Zhan, you are about to become someone else’s husband. It’s really inappropriate for you to embrace another woman,” Shi Nian reminded Zhan Xiuchen.
Her tone was so cold.
Yet, a series of pains swept through my heart.
That was because of the pain that arose from seeing Zhan Xiuchen again.
She thought she had just woken up from a dream, and that everything was over.
It wasn't until she saw Zhan Xiuchen again that Shi Nian realized this was more than just a dream.
Otherwise, why would her heart still hurt so much?
Zhan Xiuchen did not respond to Shi Nian's words, but instead took out a letter and displayed it in front of Shi Nian: "Shi Nian, take a look."
Shi Nian was stunned for a moment, then her gaze unconsciously turned to him.
It was a letter written by Anya.
When Shi Nian saw the words on the letter, she was stunned.
That's when she realized why Zhan Xiuchen married Anya.
It was all because of her!
In order to save her antiviral serum, Zhan Xiuchen agreed to marry Anya.
"you!"
Shi Nian was almost speechless.
"Shi Nian, keep watching." Zhan Xiuchen's voice was a little hoarse, yet filled with an indescribable excitement.
He also received this letter today.
This letter surprised him, but also excited him.
And with almost no delay, he came to find Shi Nian.
Shi Nian suppressed her strong emotions and continued reading.
“Zhan Xiuchen, when you told me that you urgently needed the antiviral serum to save that woman from the slums, at that moment, I made a decision: there was no possibility between us.”
“I, Anya, am proud. Why should I waste the rest of my life on a man who is so infatuated with someone else? You are excellent, that’s true, but no matter how excellent you are, you are not mine.”
"But I still told you that I wanted to marry you, Zhan Xiuchen, because my pride wouldn't let me swallow this insult. How could I let you get away so easily? So I thought I had to make you pay a price."
"So what could be more humiliating than you in front of the entire nation? Your announcement has already been made, and the people of your country know that you are going to marry the daughter of the An family. But right before the wedding, the daughter of the An family dumped you. Zhan Xiuchen, your humiliation is not just about being rejected by me at the proposal."
"So I'm leaving, and I, Anya, will not marry you. You'll have to clean up the mess yourself. After all, this antiviral serum isn't so easy to get."
"........"
That's all for now.
After learning that Zhan Xiuchen needed the antiviral serum only to save Shi Nian, Anya had no intention of marrying Zhan Xiuchen.
Doing this is simply a matter of pride.
Even the president issued a statement, yet he was openly abandoned.
Indeed, what could be more shameful than this?
But Zhan Xiuchen no longer cared.
He didn't care how embarrassing it was anymore.
Because he has a woman he wants to marry more.
Timely thought.
Marrying Shi Nian was no longer for conspiracy or scheming.
He simply wanted this woman, nothing more.
...
A month later, Zhan Xiuchen and Shi Nian's wedding was held.
This was a grand wedding that shocked the entire country of A.
Shi Nian went from being a woman in a poor neighborhood to becoming the First Lady.
After becoming First Lady, she dedicated her life to charity and working to improve class inequality in Country A.
This process is long and difficult.
But in Zhan Xiuchen and Shi Nian's lifetimes, they did it.
Country A no longer has slums; it has become a country where everyone is equal!
